    It’s the CARES act people. I’m glad Vernon Prather knew to request the reimbursement to the county for the town’s operational expenses that went above and beyond during the last wave of the pandemic.

    Thank you employees and public servants for holding things together during these difficult times.

    Thanks for reporting this and other pertinent issues William and Northescambia.
